well, i went and tested it tonight, it's awesome! especially with the CAI, i'm hitting 9.5 psi. at redline, my turbo is screeming like it's the end of the world, i love it!
also, when i'm rolling at 40 mph and drop it to 2nd gear, all hell brakes loose! i feel like i just got shot out of a gun! this is too much fun, definitely worth $800.
i'm missing a few exhaust hangers, so there is a little rattle coming from the back, but other than that, too much fun.
also, my EGT is working great, i'm getting around 400o C at idle, 500 while driving, and 600 while driving on the highway at like 70 mph. i haven't had a good chance to watch it under full boost (b/c i've been watching my boost creep up to 10 psi
). i did glance once just after i shifted at redline and saw it was up near 700 deg C.
i mounted the sensor on the otherside of the DP about the same position at the 02 sensor.

good, that's what i was wondering. i was hoping that with 93 octane and my CAI setup i would be safe at max boost of 10-10.5 psi
i guess my project for next summer will be wastegate port and boost control. and whatever else breaks in the mean time...

The new exhaust looks great! When I heard ILUVMY88CABRIO's car with the RB exhaust I was surprised how quiet it was. I guess I was expecting it to scream, but it sounded nice.
The downpipe thats on my TII looks just like that one. It's a 2.5" no namer.
